In the game, there are countless ways a story could go. Each factor contributes to the story, such as Relationships, Skills and the environment. The game has an in-game system called "Storytellers", which currently are three in the game. The story tellers mainly control the events that affect the story, many of which can either be great, positive, neutral, negative or critical.
